## Agenda
* Mumble: the new Skype (JP) (or is it…) We require a conferencing facility:
* Mumble looks perfect, open source but but costs +/- 10E each month for hosted option, may need own server. JP to talk to David Raznik to check usefulness of Mumble
* VSee – Free, no user limit for call, low bandwith. Not open source – focus on video
* Anymeeting – Free but with adds
* Onwebinar – Open, easy to use but in Beta, needs some testing
* Webhuddle – Open Source, Java based and in browser. Also needs some testing..
* Lucy: I’m currently with Elena Mondo from IBP, she recommends – could have benefit for show and tell. Has crashed on LOD2 calls… problems on linux.
* Screenleap.com recommended by Tom R (for screen-sharing)
* Mumble accounts – all to sign up with account by morning of Monday 11th, we’ll use Mumble for the Wolfpack and for the Projects call which will be in next fortnight. Need to think about how we’ll know if it’s better than the current situation.
* All Hands – 2-4th July, e-mail Laura J with requests for agenda items or people who should attend. ‘All’ may mean everyone paid, but trade-off against size of venue is consideration. Suggestion of evening meet-up in addition to smaller group.
* Core team (or all-paid-staff and major WG coords?) survey (MD) as part of strategy process, results for All-hands. Your input appreciated at until Friday, 1.6.
* Next week Jubilee w/e, many people not working – Wolfpack call cancelled for next week
